  9. How do I get started? Ask your parents to review the Science Fair section on the Rolling Hills website Return the permission slip to your teacher Determine your topic – lots of web sites even a site where you can answer questions about yourself and the web will provide suggestions for a topic

  10. How do I get started? Keep a notebook so all of your findings stay together (your parents can download a mini-notebook to help you). Take photos or collect anything that could sit on the table in front of the display board Create a display board Attend the science fair

  11. What Is a science fair project? A collection (rocks, shells, insects) A demonstration or model (how a potato battery works, solar system) Information Project (explain what a rainbow cloud is and when it exists) Experiment (what type of filling makes the softest pillow? Is your hair knotty or nice?) Create something (robot, a better football tee for kids)

  12. Pick a topic you like How do 3-D movies work? Why are clouds different shapes? How can you spin faster on ice skates? What birds gave me the feathers in my feather collection? How does crackle nail polish work? Why doMentos make soda explode?

  13. How can I find out about information on the topic I pick? • Library • Internet • Someone knowledgeable about your topic

  14. A tri-fold display that you will design to show off all of your findings and information about your project What is a display board?

  15. Who can I work with? • Individual– create your own project • Family – work on your project with siblings and parents (parents should not be doing most of the work) • Group – get together with 1 or 2 friends to create your project and design your display board (determine ways that the work is divided equally)

  16. Ask Question Do Background Research How do we do work through a science experiment? Construct Hypothesis Think! Try Again Test with an Experiment Analyze Results Draw Conclusion Hypothesis is True Hypothesis is False or Partially True Report Results

  17. There will be 2 or 3 after school sessions See how other kids made their projects Guidance on picking a topic Teachers and older science fair participants to answer questions What if I get stuck?
